Do you press 1 before the area code when dialing a number?
I press 1 when I'm dialing. It's a habit. But on my cellphone, I add everyone without the 1's because then it gets too long and it starts to scroll :x and i don't like that. |

Yeah, its the US Country Code. Every country has a different code. For example:
Hi, my name is Sierra. I live in San Marcos, CA, and my area code is 760. I would like to call my friend Kara, who lives in Rancho Bernado, CA, her area code is 858. So I would have to call this number: 1858 - 555 - 1234 Here is another example: Hi, my name is still Sierra, and I still live in San Marcos, CA, USA, and my area code is still 760. I would like to call my friend, Elena, who lives in Mexico City, Mexico, area code 432. Her country code is 2 (I'm not sure about this though, if you're calling out of country you have to check on that) So, I would have to call this number: 2432 - 555 - 4321 Get it? --->Sierra |

What are the other country codes? Why are we number 1? |

Oh I was just on an awesome cruise of the southern carribbean like 3 weeks ago. On the telephone of the cabin it said to call the country code, area code, and then the number. I asked my mom what America's country code was and she gave me a reply, "Its one. That's why we have to dial one before our area codes." I have NO idea what the other country codes are. We're probably number 1 because we might have thought to do country codes first, or maybe we were the first with telephones. Hell with that I really don't know but I have a feeling its my first guess. --->Sierra |
